Every story here is real
True Tales makes documentary-style videos about real crimes, unsolved mysteries and events too strange to make up. Each story is researched from court rulings, news archives and published sources, and every source is listed.
A new long-form story is released on YouTube on Fridays, with short trailers on YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels and X.
December 1970, Tenerife. A German doctor opens his door to his young nanny's father and brother, and hears a confession he will never forget. The true story of a father who believed God spoke to him, a son he called a prophet, and the only daughter who survived.
True stories involve real people, including victims and families who are still alive. These are the rules every episode follows.
Names, places, dates and court outcomes come from published sources, which are listed in every video description. Dramatized details are kept small and never change the facts.
Some scenes are AI-generated reconstructions. They are labelled on screen, marked as altered content on YouTube, and never presented as real photographs of the people involved.
No gore and no sensational thumbnails. Videos carry content notes, and the focus stays on what happened and why, not on shock value.
